The development of biofuel production from biomass has become a promising breakthrough and could tremendously enhance the potential of industrial technology. In this case, zeolites have emerged as suitable materials for catalyzing biomass conversion due to their outstanding catalytic properties, including the presence of the intrinsic acid sites, shape-selectivity properties, and high thermal stability. However, the sole micropores in zeolite cause diffusional limitation issues, especially for the bulky molecules involved in biomass feedstocks. For instance, many oxygenate molecules are too large to enter the micropores, so they cannot be converted into the product. In this case, hierarchical porosity could facilitate these molecules to access the acid site within the zeolite crystals. Research on synthetic strategies, modifications, and evaluations of their catalytic properties has consistently grown every year. This article reviews the recent development of hierarchical zeolite catalysts for biomass conversion to biofuel. Numerous strategies of hierarchical zeolite fabrication (bottom-up, top-down methods, and green synthesis approaches) and its modification (metals and functionalization with organic materials) and their characteristics are comprehensively reviewed. The key point in the fabrication of hierarchical zeolites is the development of notable mesopores while preserving the intrinsic micropores. Moreover, the role of hierarchical zeolites in various biofuel and bio-based chemicals for biofuel and biofuel additives production reactions, i.e., pyrolysis, hydrolysis, esterification and transesterification, isomerization, condensation, upgrading of bio-oil, and catalytic cracking reactions, are discussed in detail. Finally, the remaining challenges and insight that can be considered for further improvement are provided.

用生物质生产生物燃料的发展已经成为一个有希望的突破，可以极大地提高工业技术的潜力。在这种情况下，沸石由于其出色的催化性能，包括固有的酸性位点、形状选择性和高热稳定性，已成为催化生物质转化的合适材料。然而，沸石中唯一的微孔会导致扩散限制问题，特别是对于生物质原料中涉及的大分子。例如，许多含氧物分子太大而无法进入微孔，因此无法转化为产品。在这种情况下，分级孔隙率可以促进这些分子进入沸石晶体内的酸性位点。研究合成策略、修饰、并且对其催化性能的评估每年都在持续增长。本文回顾了用于生物质转化为生物燃料的分级沸石催化剂的最新发展。全面回顾了分级沸石制造（自下而上、自上而下方法和绿色合成方法）及其改性（金属和有机材料功能化）的众多策略及其特性。分级沸石制造的关键是在保留固有微孔的同时开发显着的介孔。此外，分级沸石在各种生物燃料和生物基化学品中的作用，用于生物燃料和生物燃料添加剂生产反应，即热解、水解、酯化和酯交换、异构化、缩合、生物油的升级、和催化裂化反应进行了详细讨论。最后，提供了可以考虑进一步改进的剩余挑战和见解。
