Yes, althought it is highly unlikely. The most likely scenario would involve a collision between the moon and a comet or asteroid of sufficient mass to dislodge the moon from its existing orbit. The resulting impact would yield such high energies that the moon would almost certainly shatter into a cloud of small fragments.

.

The amount of energy that is required to artificially remove the Moon from its orbit is beyond our current capability.

That doesn't seem very likely. Why should it? It would take an enormous amount of energy to tear the Moon apart. Where would that energy come from?
