The cross‐linking of industrial processes and plants is gaining great importance. The project Carbon2Chem® deals with industrial networks in a stochastic environment with volatilely available resources. Thus, processes in the networks must be designed for discontinuous operation, and design challenges arise due to complex dynamic interdependencies within the system. Here, a V‐model based framework for the conceptual design of industrial networks is presented, which integrates simulation and data analytics methods for a hierarchical derivation of stochastic boundary conditions on different levels of process integration. This framework is applied to study the utilization of steel mill gases for methanol synthesis in a stochastic dynamic environment.
