The Army is developing a new type of explosive called bis-oxadiazole (https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a21987787/tnt-replacement-bis-oxadiazole-los-alamos/). It's 50% more powerful than TNT and its production is much better for the environment. This would be helpful for highway building where they need to blast away hills.
Good luck getting the military to turn it over to construction contractors though.
Just use creepers (https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Creeper). They spawn every night (or any time if you're underground and it's dark), and they don't cost anything.

Forgot to mention...
I told my sons about your idea. The eldest said it's a bad idea. Reason: You can't control exactly where the explosion happens.

Never knew what a creeper was.
