An immensely complicated project. At the very least, much will be learned ...
Yes, I helped set up the ANU's Zero-Carbon Energy for the Asia-Pacific
Project:
https://www.anu.edu.au/research/research-initiatives/zero-carbon-energy-for-the-asia-pacific
This project is researching how to collect renewable wind and solar
energy from northern Australia and ship it overseas. The simplest way is
solar panels and a cable, as with Sun Cable, but there are other
options. For example a synthetic fuel can be made, or ore refined and
the energy exported embedded in the product.
One difficult issue is engagement of the indigenous community who own
the land on which the energy would be collected. Another is the energy
policy of the customer countries, so they can receive and buy the
energy.

ps: One option the project is not yet exploring is to export energy
embedded in bits, from renewable powered data centers in northern
Australia. Any companies interested in funding that?
