About Greenpool

Greenpool is an independent research and intelligence brand covering green, sovereign AI compute in the Nordics and Europe. It maps the region’s AI-relevant datacenter capacity, scores facilities and operators against a published methodology — the Greenpool Index — and explains, in plain language, what green claims and sovereignty guarantees actually hold up.

Greenpool is published by Greenpool AS (org. 925535745), Norway.

The analyst

Shan Salman Ibrahim Butt has spent more than twenty years as an enterprise and infrastructure architect in the Nordics — as Chief Architect at Telenor, enterprise architecture lead at Yara International, Head of Architecture at Cognite, and today Head of Domain and Solution Architecture at Bane NOR, Norway’s national rail infrastructure company. His career has run through telecom, industrial data, energy, and critical infrastructure — the sectors where the questions Greenpool asks are signed off in contracts, not slide decks.

Greenpool is a personal, independent venture. Views published here are his own and do not represent any employer.

Independence & disclosure

Greenpool currently earns no revenue. If and when it does, it will come from disclosed sponsorships, commissioned research, and reader-supported products — never from scoring. Three rules are permanent: sponsors never touch Index scores; any commercial relationship with an assessed operator is disclosed on that operator’s page; errors are corrected in place with a dated changelog, and the original wording remains visible.
