MELBOURNE, March 30 (Reuters) - Australia’s securities regulator searched the offices of coal miner TerraCom Ltd with assistance from Queensland state police, as part of a probe into the inflation of coal quality for exports, the miner confirmed on Tuesday.
Australia is the world’s biggest coal exporter and the probe has raised concerns that the practice of inflating the quality of thermal coal for export markets like Japan, South Korea and China may have been widespread.
The probe comes after the regulator confirmed it was investigating testing laboratory ALS, whose internal review last year found that about half the certificates it provided for export coal samples over the past decade had been altered to improve the quality indicated.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese trading company Marubeni Corp said on Tuesday it aims to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 and it moves forward its 2030 goal of halving its net coal power generating capacity from 2018 level to 2025.
The move comes as Japanese trading houses speed up their efforts to shift away from coal and other fossil fuel assets amid a growing decarbonisation push worldwide and to match an ambitious pledge by government of becoming a carbon neutral by 2050.
