I think that the best thing would be to add an effect to pastures and catnip fields where they reduce pollution by a very small margin as by planting more plants, the plants should consume carbon dioxide. Because they would reduce by such a small amount it allows carbon sequestration to still be useful after you have ramped up production using factories.

That, and perhaps an upgrade to biolabs. Initially, biolabs convert catnip to oil, but maybe an upgrade could make it so that biolabs consume CO2 instead or in addition to catnip, and maybe at a cost of using more energy.
