gas="CO2"
)
# Fetch activity data from national databases
energy_stats = national_db.get_energy_statistics(year=2024)
industrial_data = national_db.get_industrial_production(year=2024)
# Calculate emissions using IPCC methods
from ipcc_calculator import EmissionCalculator

# Verify using satellite + ground data
verification = verifier.verify_project(
project=project,
satellite_data=ghg_monitor.get_data(project['location']),
ground_data=national_db.get_local_emissions(project['location'])
)
# Issue verification report
if verification.approved:

# Initialize carbon registry smart contract
registry = CarbonRegistry(
web3=w3,
contract_address="0x..."
)
# Register verified emission reduction
tx_hash = registry.register_reduction(
project_id="CC-2025-001",
reduction_tco2e=80000,
verification_report_hash="QmXXX...", # IPFS hash
verifier="did:wia:verifier:123"
)
print(f"Transaction: {tx_hash}")
```

)
# Assimilate satellite observations
model.assimilate(
observations=satellite_data,
observation_error=0.5 # ppm
