A fifth floating LNG terminal will be built in Germany by a private consortium, in addition to the four already planned by the government, the country's economy ministry said. The fifth terminal, to be located in Lubmin, about 155 miles (250 km) north of Berlin, should be built by the end of this year, according to the ministry. Lubmin and Stade, near Hamburg, were also announced by the ministry as the sites of two of the planned government terminals. Those sites, part of Germany's strategy to wean itself off Russian energy as quickly as possible, are in addition to two in Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbuettel that were already announced. Those two, located northwest of Bremen, are scheduled to go into operation as early as this winter.
