Transition metal catalysts supported on carriers stable in hydrothermal conditions are increasingly used for processing woody biomass and its components into valuable chemical and liquid fuels. The review summarizes the publications recent years in the field of the use of Zr/Hf-containing materials as catalysts and co-catalysts, catalyst carriers in the processes of transformation of biomass and plant substrates. Promising areas of research activity are related to the synthesis of catalysts based on Zr/Hf organic hybrid materials and organometallic frameworks, containing Zr and Hf. In obtaining such materials, researches strive to use simple synthesis methods and available reagents
