Concrete is acquired during the last boss battle, with all of its upgrades also learned during the battle as well. It is a strong power, but also underwhelming at the same time. Since it's learned so late in the game, there aren't many instances for you to use it. Note that the only way to drain Concrete is from the bodies of DUP agents.
Another reason why it's so underwhelming is that there isn't as many upgrades to go around when compared to the other powers. You can only extend your Concrete Energy meter by 60% and there's no upgrades to cut down on energy usage. There is also no Karma Bomb to use, so there's nothing to build up to in regards to Karma.
