Near Arctic regions like Lappland where I live fit the bill:
* plenty of hydro power (which is why there’s data centers and battery recycling);
* agriculture isn’t possible outside with no sun and meters of snow; there’s greenhouses, including opaque ones with purely electric lighting but it’s expensive;
* transport by road is common, but harder in winter without fossil fuels and battery uncomfortable at -40ºC/F.
Any local activity could generate CO2, but the biggest existing one is paper mills.
