Hydro also requires putting a valley underwater with the resulting destruction of nature.

That said, a lot of the affected valleys in Iceland were quite barren to begin with and it's a less polluting and more sustainable option than lighting things on fire.

That makes it the only fossil energy that does not worsen the greenhouse effect. Though it’s not perfect nor without its own risks, you can’t consider it the same way as coal, oil or gas.

Does Vivaldi procure co2 emission free electrons in Iceland?

Because the Icelandic producers/distributors have been selling such green absolution-certificates to European markets, instead we get those 'dirty' stamps on our energy.

Personally I pay ~1.65 ISK extra per kWh just to keep my electricity green, denying the joy of gambling to those suits... 🥴
