The Environment / Re: Ozone layer

Sure. All you need is a way to remove the freons that are catalyzing the breakdown of ozone.
Kind of like you can replenish a woodpile by stacking more wood on it -- only, first, you have to put out the flames that are burning it.
To make ozone, all you need is a source of ultraviolet radiation approximately the size and distance of the sun -- and an atmosphere with oxygen in it, like Earth's.
Don't, however, allow freons to be produced. They convert ozone back to oxygen.
You can't overcome the catalytic effect just by feeding it.
