Crusoe Energy Systems LLC has announced a collaboration with atNorth, a Nordic colocation, computing and AI service provider, to colocate Crusoe Cloud GPUs in atNorth's ICE02 data center in Iceland, marking Crusoe’s first project in Europe. 

Cully Cavness, Crusoe's co-founder and president, said, "I'm thrilled that our quest to source low-carbon power has led us to Iceland. This partnership with atNorth allows us to bring the concentrated energy demand of compute infrastructure directly to the source of clean, renewable geothermal and hydro energy."

 E. Magnús Kristinsson, CEO of atNorth added, "It is very important to atNorth that we are collaborating with companies that share our approach to sustainability. Crusoe's commitment to maximize their compute while minimizing their environmental impact made them a perfect fit."

Crusoe's Chief Data Center Officer, Chris Dolan commented, "AI and machine learning are driving the demand for data centers to grow at a record rate. We're excited about our initial commitment to atNorth and look forward to potentially expanding capacity even more in the future."
