Wouldn't a HVDC cable be much more efficient? The distance isn't that big, definitely shorter than Australia to Singapore.

Maybe, but storing hydrogen is much easier so you can produce the power for night-life Europe, over the day Europe can produce its own solar/wind/water/thermal generated power.
