Indeed, small mobile military walking-mecha like the Knightmare simply could not be powered by combustion engines. Thus, if we assumed that an alternate compact engine exists for Knightmares, it is easy to believe that the said imaginary engine system was developed in preference to those run on fossil fuels for both military and civilian hardware. I suspect it to be the rechargeable or swappable battery system and electric motor. Fuel cells perhaps?

After all, there was a time when electric cars were considered more practical and reliable than petrol cars.
